The special coverage of Radio Veritas on the “Traslacion” will continue until the image of the Black Nazarene returns Quiapo Church.
The Black Nazarene is a life-sized, dark-colored, wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ that was brought to Manila by Augustinian priests in 1607. It has been known to be miraculous by its Filipino devotees and is being attended by millions of devotees, making it as one of the country’s biggest annual religious procession.
The image of black Nazarene is currently enshrined in the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila. The procession commemorates the first parade transferring the statue from a church in Intramuros to Quiapo Church on January 9, 1797.
Radio Veritas 846 is owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Manila. Established in 1969, the Ramon Magsaysay recipient Catholic radio station continues to be the leading social communications ministry for truth and new evangelization in the country today.
